Default $11 K high flush - I\'m pretty sure I\'m beat, but can I really fold?

With each bet, I'm really feeling villain has the Ad. I suppose I could have folded on the flop, but the diamonds just looked too pretty. Do you play this any differently?

Fold the flop. Since you're already there, turn and river are ok.

Raising preflop is always a question for me with AK early on. I know a lot of folks here seem to be advocating limping/calling with AK early on. I usually judge it by the action in front of me and the table feel. If I feel the raise is only going to inflate the pot, I limp/call. If the table is playing tight/solid, then I raise for sure.

I'm reraising preflop cause I don't want to play with AK vs 3 opponents and I have position, so I'm not afraid to bloat the pot a little more. Presumably the two mp players fold to my reraise.
